10 best manufacturers of moonshine stills

A recognized manufacturer of mini-breweries and moonshine stills attracted buyers with its low prices and original design of cubes with distillation columns. Even despite complex design solutions, distillers from Magarych do not go beyond the occupied price niche, which attracts buyers, winning leading positions in the top sales. However, in fact, some brand models have a big drawback, which is a short service life. In reviews, buyers complain about thin metal, not the best build quality. Of the design flaws - the narrow neck of the tank in most models, often there is no tap for draining the stillage in dry steamers. Inexpensive devices "Magarych" are more suitable for beginners for the first experiments of moonshine.

The assets of the Dobry Zhar company include a large selection of moonshine stills, good consumables and widespread use on the territory of the Russian Federation. The company produces different models - from simple distillers for summer cottages without flow cooling to tray columns. Models of this type are interesting.For example, "Titan" with a glass plate column, a reflux condenser, a selection unit operates in different modes - distillation and rectification. The devices are compatible with induction cookers, you can take a complete set with a heating element. For users, the main indicator of the quality of moonshine stills is the flavor and aroma of the resulting drink. And, judging by their reviews, the models from the Dobry Zhar company are in perfect order with this. But the quality is lame - poorly welded seams, thin metal, rust. Such complaints often flicker in the reviews.

The trademark of the Ural manufacturer takes the breadth of the range. The catalog contains the simplest distillers with flowing and non-flowing cooling, sophisticated double distillation apparatuses and distillation columns. The best model of the company is OptiSam S3. This is a powerful distillation column with a universal liquid and steam selection unit. Even inexpensive devices show good results in terms of service life. The complete set of models is no different from most competitors - however, it is rather difficult to come up with something new in moonshine. Buyers respect "Malinovka" for the abundance of choice, availability, good quality metal, accurate welding. There are complaints only to the cheapest distillers.And buyers consider double distillation moonshine a dubious solution.

Initially, the Phoenix brand was part of the Dobry Zhar company. With the expansion of production, it was allocated to Phoenix LLC. Brand moonshine stills are popular. It is noteworthy that most of the company's products are sold through online orders. Judging by the reviews, the main advantages of the company were high reliability and a variety of products. The line has everything - from models without flow cooling for summer cottages, standard distillers to good distillation columns. One such model is the Sirius Pro. This column produces a maximum strength of up to 96.6% vol. Customers appreciate low prices and high quality beverages, as well as the possibility of self- or factory upgrades. From the frequent complaints of users - the quality of welds is far from ideal.

The name of this brand speaks for itself - it produces moonshine stills with a steel still and copper columns. This has a good effect on the organoleptics of a drink made from grain and fruit brews. The product range is represented mainly by column-type models. An additional incentive to buy is the external magnificence of the devices - strict features and visually correct forms. Consumers respond positively to Cuprum & Steel products, however, they note some nuances in terms of the inaccessibility of the devices and the slightly high cost (relative to the average market price). The simple design of the distillation cube is unusual. It does not have a thermometer, a safety valve. They will have to be installed separately or completely change the tank.

Another Russian giant of the home brewing market segment. He got a place in the top for good and not very expensive distillation and mash columns. "Thermosphere" cannot be called popular, the company begins to gradually lose ground, cannot compete with Luxstal, Wayne, Doctor Huber. Although the devices of this brand collect good reviews. There are no complaints about the design, performance, quality of cleaning. One minus - the metal is thin.In the assortment of "Thermosphere" everyone will find an apparatus to their liking, whether it is an inexpensive distillation cube with a minimum of nozzles and systems, or a grandiose 30-liter container with a rectifier, dry steamers and aromatic boxes.

From the very first moonshine stills, Luxstahl showed the highest class, overshadowing competitors with rich functionality. The key feature of the manufacturer was the gradual, smooth modernization of existing models, fueling interest in new developments from the audience. Users (for the most part) have no complaints about the operation of LUXSTAHL moonshine stills, noting decent performance, durability and quality of the drink produced. At the moment, the company is implementing a new model Luxstahl 8M. This is a powerful three-inch distillation column with factory-insulated tsargi, a liquid selection unit. The rest are out of production and are sold only in the secondary market.

A popular manufacturer of distillers and distillation columns got into the top because of the quality of the devices, non-standard technologies. This company overtook both the high-level "Schnapser" and the more modest domestic "strong men" "Good Heat" and "Phoenix". She does not take successful models as a base, but develops them herself. Some parts are not found in any other manufacturer. The best patented model is Midjet 3.0. All this splendor has one minus. With external impeccability, Doctor Guber devices require decent initial costs. It is this fact that holds back the onslaught of the popularity of this brand among the domestic buyer.

As noted in thematic ratings and expert essays, the entire Wein line produces a consistently high quality of the finished product. Each model is universal - it is configured for distillation or rectification. Productivity in the post-stil mode reaches 12 liters of raw alcohol per hour.Objectively, there are no cons in the Wein product line - each user finds something for himself both in terms of advantages and disadvantages. Three models are now available on the official website - the latest version of Wein 6 Pro with a double universal selection node, a slightly modified Wein ReForm + model. Wein Combo combines distillation column and autoclave. The downside is the high prices.

The Russian company produces reliable moonshine stills for home use. The common features of their products are the same pressure relief system from the still, the constant presence of a rectifier and the possibility of a slight upgrade of the apparatus for strengthening and improving the distillate. Now there are only three models in the brand line. The main one is the flagship two-inch column Schnapser XO4-M with a double selection unit for steam and liquid. Of the new products - the base column X5. It can be upgraded to XO4-M configuration. The third moonshine is a classic distiller. Of the minuses - not all buyers are satisfied with the quality of the tank. The cost bites a little, but with active use, full compensation of costs comes very quickly.
